LXXVI, No. 159 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1966 SEVEN UENTS TEN PAGES University Plans for Housing: Too Little Too Late By ROGER RAPOPORT Last of a Series The Commission believes that the University's greatest respon- sibility to private owners and developers of student housing, and to the City of Ann Arbor, as well, is to provide an effec- tive channel for communications between the University and all others whose cooperation and participation is required in order, to assure suitable student hous- ing facilities in Ann Arbor. -President Hatcher's Blue Ribbon Report on Student Housing On the surface there appears to be little reason for student concern over the University's role in the housing situation. In the past year, the Univer- sity has pressed landlords to give students eight month leases, pro- duced a Blue Ribbon report on student housing and embarked on new dormitory and apartment construction on North Campus. But in these times when the landlord no longer lives in to stoke the furnace on cold winter nights, the situation is far from resolved. For example, the Office of Stu- dent Affairs is currently in the midst of a housing crisis precipi- tated by Mrs. Elizabeth Leslie, as- sistant to the director of student- community relations. Mrs. Leslie, who was assistant to Dean of Women Deborah Bacon, Over the past five years, however, before Bacon's position was the University has virtually dis- abolished in 1960, is currently ac- continued the practice of meting tive in the Off-Campus Housing out academic punishments to stu- This year the bureau made a dents who don't pay their rent. d leaving big push for landlords to adopt an in the matter to be resolved eight-month lease. in mediation or court. eigh-monh lese."Our argument," says Hall, "was According to Ron Hall, president "Oharguenth aygHa-mn"ha of the Property Managers Associa- lease, we thi we should get some an eflr tos rce the wuld sort of University disciplinary ac- versity to impose academic dis- on the students." cipline on students who fail to Since the academic deans have' make rental payments, in ex- not been taking disciplinary action change for the landlord decision under these conditions, the situa-I to offer an eight-month lease. tion was a ticklish one.

See PRIVATE, Page 7 t FPA Against OSA Rush Policy Probe Change Academic Requirements for Pledging, Activattion By RANDY FROST The Fraternity President's As- sembly, in a meeting last night passeda resolution registering its "collective disapproval" of Vice- President Richard Cutler's decision to review Panhellenic Assocition's rush policies, recently approved by Student Government Council. The FPA also approved a by- law revision raising the minimum academic grade point average re- quired to pledge and go active from 2.0 to 2.2 by two votes. The resolution, recommended by the Intefraternity Council Execu- tive Committee, voiced the fra- ternity system's "grave concern that Vice-President Cutler's action constitutes a belated and unila- teral vote of no confidence in the orderly management by students of their affairs in the participa- tory democracy so frequently en- dorsed by the Office of Student Affairs." Act on Men's Rush? In debate on the resolution, con- cern was expressed that if the administration acted negatively on the sorority fall rush proposal, fraternity fall rush would also be questioned in the future. Charles Judge, assistant to the director of student organizations and coun- selor to fraternities, however, de- nied that there was any 'such sentiment among the Office of * Student Affairs. The new academic gradepoint requirements will go into effect this fall. The action does not in- clude present pledges and also exempts engineering students. Stop Competition A concern for the fraternity system's academic image was evi- denced throughout the debate' on the revisions. Bruce Getzner, '68, president of Sigma Chi, maintain- ed that the change encouraged academics at the expense of the more well-rounded individual, and would heighten the cut-throat competion already present." IFC Executive Vice-President Douglas Dunn, '67E, emphasized however that only 8 per cent of the students in the literary college will be affected. The revisions re- quired a two-thirds majority vote for approval and passed by a margin of 26-10. Sn Ainistraion Talks To NEWS WIRE" Teaching Fellows Late World News UNITED NATIONS (P)--A majority of the UN Security Council membership, with U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg in the fore- front, staged a sit-in of nearly 6%/2 hours yesterday night in an effort to have the council president summon an urgent session on Rhodesia. The 10 nations demanding a meeting of the 15-nation council gave up before midnight. A delegate said they had received "an oral indication" that Ambassador Moussa Keita of Mali, council president for April, was continuing his consultations and could not call a meet- ing before Friday. Britain had requested an urgent session to obtain authority from# the United Nations to use force if necessary to stop ships from de- livering oil to the rebel regime in Rhodesia. They wanted the council to meet at 4 p.m. Thursday. CRITICISM OF THE ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION study being carried on by the University Center for Research in Reproductive Biology issued from a number of religious and legal officials in Detroit yesterday. Rev. Kenneth E. Untener, assistant chancellor of the Archdiocese of Detroit, attacked the project, saying that it "robs the marital act of one of its essential elements-an act of love . . . Artificial insemination, is basicallly manufactured love." At the same time, several attorneys pointed out many related legal problems involving legitimacy, adultery, inheritance and tax deduction. * * * * STUDENTS WHO WILL BE AT THE UNIVERSITY for the Spring-Summer term must register their automobiles and motorcycles, Vice-President for Student Affairs Richard L. Cutler said yesterday. The 21 year age limit for having automobiles on campus has been waived for the third term until such time as automobile congestion may require such restrictions. The registration fee will be $1.75 for automobiles and $1.50 for motorized cycles, and will apply to all students carrying four or more credits. Students carrying three hours or less will be required to regis- ter but no fee will be charged. PROFS. ROBERT C. ANGELL of the sociology department and. Kenneth E. Boulding of the economics department have been named to a newly formed advisory council for the Midwest Division of the International Studies Association. The association is the only pro- fessional organization devoted to the integration of knowledge in the international studies field. THE FIRST MAJOR STEP in the shift to federally subsidized student loans has been taken by the federal Office of Education. Har- old Howe II, commissioner of education announced recently that in- terim agreements have been signed to make the subsidized loans avail- able in all states and territories for the 1966-67 academic year. According to Karl D. Streiff, assistant director of financial aids, who has just returned from consultation with federal education officials in Washington, the announcement does not mark any change of policy towards National Defense Education loans. According to Streiff, the Office of Education expects the NDEA loan program to1 continue through the 1967 fiscal year as it has in the past, but officialst feel that the program will be discontinued the following year.- Bill Opposes GreekhRush Pre udices, President of IFC Says Law Restates Existing 'U' Statutes By LAURENCE MEDOW Fraternities and sororities could face legal prosecution for refusing membership to anyone strictly on the basis of race or color under a bill which has received prelimin- ary approval in the State House of Representatives. The warmly debated measure was amended to apply only to chapters at public junior colleges, colleges and universities, and to eliminate a ban against religious discrimination, Interfraternity Council Presi- dent Richard E. Van House, '67E, predicted, however, that the new measure "won't really affect us much." He described it as "mere- ly a state backing of what already exists here." Charles Judge, assistant to the director of student organizations and counselor to fraternities, con- curred with Van House. "As far as I can see it does the same thing that our rules do and merely of- fers the state's support," he said. According to an Associated Press report, the anti-discrimina- tion measure, introduced by Rep. James Del Rio (D-Det.), had met with objections that it would pre-' vent formation of religion-related groups-;such as denominational1 student organizations or the Knights of Columbus-and that 'This is on the statutes already.", Rep. Dale Kildee (D-Flint) de-f fended the bill, but sponsored thet amendment to strike the ban ont religious discrimination to meet objections. Such a law, Kildee said, would help stir consciences and prod such organizations into eliminating dis- crimination from their by-laws.

Seaborg, along with Gerald Tape, commissioner of the AEC and seven experts from their staff, were taken to inspect a site in Northfield Township, just north- east of Ann Arbor, yesterday as part of their tour of five of the six locations still being consider- ed for the $375 million pro ect. They were accompanied. by Gov. George Romney, University Presi- dent Harlan Hatcher and Rep. Weston Vivian. Also with the tour were many state legislators, and faculty members from the Uni- versity. State Promises Land Earlier yesterday, the state Le'g- islature confirmed its pi'omise to provide the land for the project by approving $5 to $10 million for the purchase of the land in- volved. The land is presently the location of several farms whose occupants hope that a decision will be made soon. One of the reasons the site selec- tion procedure, which began with more than 200 applications, has j ensoslow isthe poitcla Some of the criteria for were discussed, including ic stability, attractiveness cessibility of the area to ri ers and the location of university nearby.

This six-part series is the result of his work since January. By RICHARD MORROW First of Six Parts Religion at the University is something about which everyone has opinions and no one has facts. This lack of data is being at- tacked on and for this campus by the Institute of Social Research which is conducting the massive "Michigan Student Study." At this point, however, the data is hardly one third compiled and the researchers feel it wouldn't be right to reveal even an impression of the results on such insufficient es, Maybe, and the Death- ofGod Most of the people talked to in-' dicated a decrease of involvement in the church and hence, under- standably, a corresponding de- crease in the churches' influences on them. From these people came many and varied explanations. A fraternity man said, "College forces you to think about what you've been told . . . but there's no one to force you to do anything and its easy to force back ques- tions of religious significance, especially if you don't want to face them." He felt it would be hypocritical to go to church if you don't feel the need for it and added, "Most people don't change completely.

A girl named Linda said the University presents you with many more alternatives than you had before and if there's no answer that works for you, you learn to live with the uncertainty of those alternatives. On the other side of the same coin, Chuck said the church says it has the answer and that kind of dogmatism is repulsive. A student in the fishbowl left Newsweek long enough to explain There were others who main- tained an affiliation with the church. . A Resident Advisor in one of the dorms said, "I go to church but I don't really enjoy it. Religion is much more real for me when I'm tutoring a kid." Implying in his tone of voice that it was problematic, he added, We don't seem to be thinking in terms of a personal dynamic re- lationshin with God.
